Offering flexible, freelance support to busy interior design studios in need of an extra pair of hands. Whether it's developing a concept, producing drawing packages, refining presentations or supporting a project from inception to completion, I can seamlessly integrate into your team at any stage of the design process.

My aim is always to be a trusted extension of the team, delivering design solutions that clients are proud to invest in and end users are proud to experience.

Studio Support

Ad hoc & Short-term support

For individual days, tender periods, design workshops, or project involvement up to roughly two consecutive working weeks. Useful when a deadline lands badly, a team member is away, or a submission needs more hands than the diary allows.

This may include but is not limited to:

• Space planning
• Design / concept development
• Client presentation support
• Joinery intent and design documentation packages
• Furniture selection and suggested finishes
• Finishes and fixtures selection
• Dressing and styling packages
• Coordination with consultants and subcontractors
• Site attendance where required
• Primarily remote working, with office attendance arranged to suit project and client requirements

The pages shown are a small selection extracted from a larger initial concept document prepared for a serviced office proposal. The content, structure, and level of detail of each concept document I produce are tailored to each client’s specific requirements, and my services are not limited to the examples presented here.

Project deliverables, scope, and expectations will be agreed upon appointment.

Example of Concept Presentation Work

longer term project support

For longer programme durations, such as Stage 3 design development, or ongoing involvement across a project’s life. I typically allocate four days a week to an engagement of this kind, adjusted to suit the programme, deliverables and the attendance your client expects.

Working Setup, Scope & Expectations

Greater Manchester Based: Hybrid setups are mapped out upon appointment, balancing in-studio collaboration with remote work, shaped around project demands and your studio location and culture.

Travel: I’m happy to travel beyond Greater Manchester or stay overnight when a project requires it. We'll simply agree on these details in advance with reasonable expenses covered.

Clear From Day One: Deliverables, scope, and fees are agreed upon appointment.


Portfolio / Examples of my work

I’ve delivered projects across a range of sectors, producing comprehensive drawing packages, specifications, and documentation at every stage of the design process.

A curated PDF portfolio highlighting key projects is available on request. If you need examples tailored to a specific sector, project type, or design stage, I’d be happy to arrange an in-person meeting or video call to present relevant work in more detail.

The pages presented here represent a very small selection extracted from a comprehensive Stage 4 design document and are intended to demonstrate the narrative developed throughout the project alongside some completed photographs to show the end result.
